Zack Snyder has denied that he is prepping a new non-trilogy Star Wars film.

The Man of Steel filmmaker was one of the rumored candidates to be directing Star Wars Episode VII last year prior to Vulture reporting that he was actually working on a separate movie to run parallel to the new trilogy.

Snyder's film was said to be loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's classic movie Seven Samurai, the 1954 feature film about group of ronin defending a village against bandits.

The rumored Star Wars adaptation would have apparently replaced ronin with Jedis and moved the story into the continuity of the franchise's new trilogy. George Lucas has long cited Seven Samurai among his favorite films and has often praised Kurasawa as one of his favorite filmmakers.

A spokesperson for Snyder has now given a public statement denying that the filmmaker has any Star Wars-related projects lined up at this time.

"While he is super flattered because he is a huge fan, Zack is not involved in any way with the new Star Wars. He is currently in post on his two films, Man of Steel and 300: Battle of Artemisia," Snyder's representative told The Hollywood Reporter.
